Psalm 86:2

Verse 2 of 17. The 86th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1A Prayer by David. Hear, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

2Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.

3Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.

4Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

6Hear, LORD, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
